Onomastics
The name was recorded in about 1150 as ''Sahebroch'' and in 1386 as ''Saubro''; it possibly derives from Old Danish *''saghi'', "somewhat cut", referring to tree-felling, and ''brōk'', "swamp".
History
Sabro was originally one of the smaller villages in the area, with a few houses and farms south and west of Sabro Church.
After the road between Aarhus and Viborg (today Primærrute 26) was built through the area around 1890, a small settlement developed at the crossroads about from the original village. In the mid-20th century the ''sogn'' (parish) councils of Borum-Lyngby, Lading and Sabro-Fårup (of which Sabro was part until 1 April 1970) decided to make this the location of a central school, ''Sabro Korsvejskolen'' (Sabro Crossroads School), which was dedicated in 1964.
In the 1970s and 1980s the crossroads settlement and the original village merged, as part of a strong urban growth which has since continued eastwards, covering former agricultural land in the direction of the neighbouring village of Mundelstrup.
